Masorti Judaism is an egalitarian movement, which is fully committed to halakhah, Jewish law, being open to finding new answers to the new questions arising in the 21st century.
'Masorti Judaism' and 'Conservative Judaism' are two terms for one movement. 'Masorti' is the name used internationally to refer to this movement, and 'Conservative Judaism' is the name used in the United States.

Ideologically, the movement is located in the middle ground between Reform and Orthodoxy. In Germany, there is sometimes a confusion of terms, since people might use terms such as "liberal" or "progressive" to refer to everything which is not Orthodox.

Masorti Germany is a non-profit organisation founded by Rabbi Gesa Ederberg and others in August 2002 in
Berlin. Our goal is to provide comprehensive Jewish education and Jewish lifestyle opportunities for children,
students and adults throughout Germany and Europe. This work takes place within the framework of the Einheitsgemeinde - the local Jewish communities.

Masorti Germany gives Jews of all backgrounds the opportunity to experience Jewish learning and Jewish
life in an exciting and welcoming environment. Masorti Germany also encourages Jews throughout Germany to
learn more about Jewish tradition and to develop their own vision of a Jewish future in Germany.

We do not offer our own religious services for Shabbat and Holidays.Rabbi Ederberg officiates in the Oranienburger Strasse Synagogue of the Berlin Jewish Community.
People used to Conservative/Masorti services will feel at home there. The synagogue is always happy to welcome Jewish visitors.
Service times are Friday night at 7 p.m. (in winter at 6 p.m.) and Shabbat morning at 10 a.m.
If possible, please let us know per email that you are coming - it will also make the security check at the entrance easier for you!
